TCW vs. Rebels debates are not allowed in the Television forum. As in, discussions that descend into TCW/Rebels bashing/gushing will be subject to Mod action. Contrasting the themes, story lines, characters, etc. between the shows is allowed (welcomed, even). "Versus" debates/arguments, however, are a deal-breaker.

Haven't seen any clips alluding to an appearance by Darth Sidious per say. But I was surprised that they made such a strong inference to Palpidious' relationship with Anakin and how he is manipulating his development. Will the cartoon lean further toward exposing that Palpatine and Sidious are exactly the same person?

Just talking about what the Cartoon will infer, no EPIII spoiler in that. The discussion of the inference has gone on since EPI.

Back on topic. It was also interesting how Obi-wan and Yoda looked at each other showing their frustration at being overruled. It reminds me that Palpy is like the president, he is the commander in chief.

Also the warm look that Ani gives Palp compared to the angry look he gives Obi-wan. Well done. It hints at the evolution of both those relationships.

oh and Vortex, since you have nothing better to do than read every post me and Mebe make on a site where you are perma banned...I will show you the scene.....in 2005.

JP, I have to disagree. If the above statement is not implying something, then I don't really see much of a difference. I have seen people mentioning in AOTC far less spoilerish than that, and been given warnings about that.

Dude, what is your deal? JP is a mod and he just cleared it. Leave it alone. If it steps over the line, they will pull it in. Discussing if the Cartoon will make an implication about a character is not an EPIII spoiler. It's speculation on the Cartoon.

I read that "lean further towards" as coming from the clues given in TPM and AOTC that Sidious = Palpatine. No need to read any Episode 3 stuff into that sentence at all.

I wasn't sure if Sidious would be showing up at all in the cartoon, but the official site updated tonight with some cool new "Clone Wars" series avatars for HyperSpace members, and Sidious is one of 'em.

Yes, it would make sense that he will show up via hologram since that is mostly how he appears in the movies.

In last night's cartoon we see again that Anakin is coming to lean on the ego boost that Palpidious gives him. He defends his capability to lead the strike saying that Palpatine believes in him. And again they have Obi-wan disagreeing with that.

The father figure relationship is moving away from Obi-wan and toward Palpatine. This is by design on Palpatine's part. I believe It will play into getting Anakin's trust and helping to convert him to Sith when the time comes to reveal himself as Sidious.
